Product Testing Data

Results from testing according to the Quality Test Method (QTM) are used to determine if a product has met the Lighting Global Quality Standards. These statistics include both pico-products and solar home system kits.

Below are statistics of historical testing performed under the Lighting Global program and a list of products previously supported by the program. Statistics were last updated through June 2017.

Quality Test Method (QTM) Statistics

Market Check Test Statistics

The Market Check Test Policy is used to re-test products that are already supported by Lighting Global. The market check tests help to protect consumers and distributors by ensuring that products sold in the market continue to perform as reported at program entry.
